A Ruby Wedding

I've been waiting to post this card because I wanted to make sure that the recipients had received it. Unfortunately they haven't! I sometimes wonder about our postal system.

UPDATE: Card arrived ... a week after posting 1st class!

Anyway, dear friends of mine, Greta and Roger, celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on Sunday. I didn't find out about it until the early part of last week and I didn't have much time to make a card. Firstly I had no working room as my crafty space was doing a good job of hiding itself under all the 'junk' I'd piled in it and secondly, we had our night away and I had Dad to deal with amongst the normal 'stuff' I don't normally have to do but have at the moment - until OH is able-ish again. I managed to get crafty space cleared and, after getting home and having a 'rest' from out night away I set to work .... trying to find mojo! I had a sketch to follow for a challenge on the forum but I had no idea what to do. I cobbled something together which I hated so it all came apart and I started again. Hubby is thinking I'm mad 'cos he liked what I'd done but I didn't. Still actually didn't like what I ended up with - mojo well and truly left me, or I never really had any in the first place and I can only make cards when I go to a workshop and told what to do :0( Fact was, I'd run out of time as it had to go in post to get there on time .... or not, as it turned out 'cos they're still waiting!

Hey PeeJay!!! Very pretty card! So striking with the red and white!!! I don't get around much to blogs any more, but see you are combining yours. Certainly don't want to be left behind, so signed on as a follower for this blog. Hope to one day catch up with things so I can blog hop more often again!!!

I used some Wordart from Create with TLC in my 2010 Year Book. I told Paulette and she featured it on her blog :0) I've also used one of her greetings on a Christmas card. Click on the pic to go see her work.
